Cypress Creek football team in action during practice, preparing for the upcoming season.
Cypress Creek High School in South Orlando is searching for a new Head Football Coach following the retirement of Greg McCaig, who dedicated over 20 years to the program. The new coach will lead both Junior Varsity and Varsity teams, emphasizing the importance of experience and strong communication skills. Coach Deveon McKinney has been named as McCaig’s successor, bringing fresh enthusiasm to the role. The school community is eager to support a new leader as they enter a promising era for the football program.
Exciting news is buzzing around Cypress Creek High School as the school begins its search for a new Head Football Coach. This change comes on the heels of the retirement of the beloved Greg McCaig, who has dedicated over two decades to shaping the school’s football program. After 21 years at Cypress Creek and an extensive coaching career spanning 41 years, McCaig leaves behind a legacy that will be hard to follow.
As the school moves forward, it’s looking for a dynamic individual to take the reins and lead both the Junior Varsity and Varsity teams. This is no small task, as the new coach will be responsible for all aspects of the football program—everything from developing young athletes to mentoring them into responsible adults. Cypress Creek is committing to finding someone who truly understands the game and knows how to inspire and motivate players.
To qualify for this important role, candidates need to have some serious experience under their belt. They are looking for individuals who have prior head coaching or coordinator experience. Knowledge of the Florida High School Athletic Association bylaws and policies is also a must. Communication skills are critical; the new coach should have excellent verbal and written communication abilities to effectively engage with players, parents, and the surrounding community.
Although McCaig’s departure is a bittersweet moment for the school, his impact on the field cannot be overstated. With a coaching record of 148-143, he has led various teams to three regional final appearances, including two memorable runs with Cypress Creek in 2018 and 2019. His decision to step down comes after a careful consideration of administrative pressures and recent changes in the coaching landscape.
As he prepares to leave at the end of the current school year, McCaig’s influence still echoes throughout the school and among his former players. His dedication and love for the game have certainly set a high bar for whomever takes over this pivotal position.
If you think you have what it takes to step into this exciting role, the application window is officially open! Resumes will be accepted until Friday, March 7th, 2025. Interested candidates should send their resumes to James Washington III at James.Washington@ocps.net. This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking to make a substantial impact on the lives of young athletes and contribute to the vibrant community at Cypress Creek High School.
In other updates, Coach Deveon McKinney has already been named McCaig’s successor, bringing with him a fresh perspective and enthusiasm for taking on this prestigious role. Previously serving as the offensive line coach at Galena Park North Shore, he has expressed excitement about this new chapter and his familiarity with the Cy-Fair Independent School District seems to be a key factor influencing his interest in this position.
Cypress Creek High School stands on the brink of a new era, and the future looks promising! As the search for a new head football coach commences, the entire school community eagerly awaits the opportunity to rally behind a new leader. Whether you’re a current student athlete, a parent, or a fan of Cypress Creek football, this is an exciting time to be involved! Keep an eye out for updates as the school works to welcome a new face to the sidelines.
